Felix Wiedwald did not put a foot wrong on his return to the starting XI and Christiansen needs to throw his weight behind one or the other now after a season of chopping and changing.

The back four also picks itself currently despite some fears over Gaetano Berardi and the Swiss will benefit from remaining part of the manager's apparently strongest lineup.

It's in midfield where Christiansen ought to make his change.

And that's nothing against Eunan O'Kane, who I felt was slightly overlooked by Samuel Saiz and Ezgjan Alioski's sustained brilliance at Oakwell last weekend.

O'Kane was everywhere; winning back possession high up the field and helping to set the tempo for Leeds, but the return of Ronaldo Vieira from suspension, coupled with the Irishman still recovering from a hip problem mean a change should be made.

Prior to his red card at Wolves, Vieira was just starting to show what he is capable of in a two with Kalvin Phillips and his return would offer O'Kane more recovery time.

With Stuart Dallas and Pierre-Michel Lasogga both still out, the only other decision is whether or not to start Caleb Ekuban for a second successive match ahead of Kemar Roofe, though the manager did also hint in his pre-match press conference that he is not adverse to the idea of two strikers.

Ekuban has impressed since returning to the first team but has also been out for over three months and will need to be monitored carefully, but I believe he could be useful in unsettling the Villa defence before coming off for Roofe, depending on how the game goes, in the second half when the game becomes more stretched.

This is how our Leeds United editor Tom Marshall-Bailey believes Christiansen's side should line up.
